Is this where YOU ship stuff on behalf of amazon or ebay?  Like where they ship it to you and then you ship it on to the customer?  I would never do this.  There was a news special where a woman was doing that and the stuff being shipped to the customer was stolen.  Reminds me of the secret shopper job I was offered where they send me a box and I ship it from the post office but I am not allowed to open the box or know the contents of the box.  Yeah, I passed on that one.

I have thought of it but, I have never tried it!  I wonder if it is worth looking into?

I've heard about it as well, but I don't think it's very profitable and I question how "right" it is to do.  Once you factor in all the fees that Ebay charges to list and sell items, it just doesn't add up.  I'm not sure how people supposedly make money doing it.  There must be something I am missing.

There are a lot of things people supposedly make money at that I cannot see how they do it.  Things I have checked in to myself and when you factor in the cost you would actually lose money.  But I know a lot of people do something and "make" so much money and that's all they count.  They don't count the cost to make the product.

I don't have space to do this... But it sounds like there can be many things that could go wrong in the shipment

I do know that Amazon will cancel your account once they find out and they can do this rather quickly. People have opened up multiple accounts on Amazon to do this but have eventually being caught.
